Airspace Graphics
Flight Guide Online provides a full size graphic for every Class-B, Class-C, TRSA
and selected Class-D airspace. A larger graphic depiction of each airport &
airspace is available by clicking on it's corresponding thumbnail. Airspace images
contain boundaries and altitudes as well as other nearby airspace entities including:
special-use airspace, visual checkpoints, selected geographical features (cities,
roads, lakes, rivers, etc.), "Xpct" boxes (what the tower is likely to instruct),
navaids (VORs and beacons), and state boundaries. Class-B graphic image pages
display the same information as Class C, D and TRSA pages in addition to IFR arrival
& departure routes, VFR corridors, VFR flyways & Transition routes.
Satellite Photos
In addition to airspace graphics & airport diagrams, Flight Guide
Online has teamed up with google maps to provide an instantaneous, in-depth,
satellite/aerial image of every airport. Images are dynamic, interactive
maps that are draggable–no clicking and waiting for graphics to
reload each time you want to view the adjacent parts of a map. Since these
maps are draggable, you can use your mouse or the directional arrows to
pan left, right, up and down to see areas that are hidden offscreen. You
can also use the map slider to zoom in and zoom out. Switching to the "map"
view allows you to view a detailaed driving map of the current airport as
well as surrounding areas. You can also choose the "hybrid" view, which
superimposes map data - including streets, street names, and landmarks -
over the satellite images. |
